Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method, system, and apparatus that adds one or more reinforcing structures to a thermally sprayed layer of metallic material onto a substrate to reinforce and/or further support the formed substrate coating. The reinforcing structure may be a metallic or non-metallic wire, filament, whisker, mesh, or similar structure and may be coupled to the substrate before or during the thermal spray process, thereby embedding the reinforcing structure(s) into the resulting thermal spray matrix. The type, material, size, shape, and application technique of the reinforcing structure is variable based upon the desired characteristics of the ultimate coating. The durable coating may be formed by a plurality of separate and/or distinct layers. The resultant coating (e.g., the reinforcing structure(s) with the one or more thermal spray layers) provides numerous benefits, including increased strength and resistance to spalling, breaking, cracking, deforming, crack formation, and corrosion.
